Joining a 'Kommune'

On Thursday we had perhaps what will be our last nice day for the season and decided to take advantage of it by heading down to my favorite Taikang Lu for a patio brunch at Kommune. I never get tired of wandering the beautiful alleyways of Taikang Lu and the bowls of coffee they serve up at Kommune are incredible!

How we got here ... with a couple babies!

We first met on July 7, 2006. We'd both quit our jobs and gotten rid of nearly all our possessions. We had joined the Peace Corps and were heading to the Kingdom of Tonga in the South Pacific. We thought we were prepared for whatever lay ahead ... neither of us had a clue.

Just over 10 months after we first met, we were MARRIED!Since then our adventures have included:

- a year in New York City, living in a Harlem brownstone apartment- going off-the-grid & into a tent-cabin on tiny Angaur island in Palau- living with a bunch of teenagers in Shanghai, China while working as dormitory parents

- off-the-grid again & into a barn on 400 forested acres in Vermont

- at the base of volcanos in beautiful Panajachel, Guatemala

And now ... on the hunt for a new career, we find ourselves in IDAHO!

We love to experience this great big world and hope you will join us for the journey!
